Quality Control

Every batch of 1,3-Benzenediol, 4-(2,3-Dihydroxy-3-Methylbutyl)- (9Ci) is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the material meets your research or production specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each shipment, documenting critical parameters such as purity (by HPLC), identity (by IR/NMR), and impurity profile. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability and to minimize moisture uptake. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
